Picturesque as a Tuscan landscape in autumn, the Toscana is an exquisite and extremely delicate chess board. It is crafted from a valuable and distinguished material: root of elmwood. The board is made in Florence, Italy.
The veneer squares have been inlaid by hand. The patterns and the swirly grain are rich in tone and the beautiful knotting adds depth to the contrasts on the board.
The impressive pattern of the wood is unique to each board. The colour tones vary slightly from lighter to darker brown or reddish-brown.
This board with its large squares is a perfect match for all our chess piece sets that feature a 4.4″ or 4.75″ tall King. This board carries a matt finish, so we recommend to pair it with chess pieces with an unlacquered finish.
The Toscana is also available as a 60 cm glossy lacquered variation called Da Vinci as well as in a smaller 51 cm version called the Pisa.
